This engaging book chronicles the first classes on the art and
industry of cinema and the colorful pioneers who taught, wrote, and
advocated on behalf of the new art form. Using extensive archival
research, Dana Polan looks at, for example, Columbia UniversityOCOs
early classes on Photoplay Composition; lectures at the New School
for Social Research by famed movie historian Terry Ramsaye; the
film industryOCOs sponsorship of a business course on film at
Harvard; and attempts by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences to create programs of professionalized education at the
University of Southern California, Stanford, and elsewhere. Polan
examines a wide range of thinkers who engaged with the new art of
film, from Marxist Harry Alan Potamkin to sociologist Frederic
Thrasher to Great Books advocates Mortimer Adler and Mark Van
Doren."
